How to Tell if Your iPhone 8 is Eligible For a Free Logic Board Replacement

If you have an iPhone 8 that seems to be having trouble, it might need a new logic board. Late last week, Apple revealed that faulty logic boards may have been causing random restarts, screen freezes, and defective startup initiations that prevent the iPhone 8 from turning on properly. If these issues sound like something you’re dealing with, you can get your phone repaired for free. The affected units were purchased between September 2017 and March 2018 in the U.S, Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Macau, and New Zealand. The recall only involves the iPhone 8, so if you purchased another model then this doesn’t apply to you, even if you’re having the same problems and purchased your phone at the same time. To see if your phone qualifies, you just need to input its serial number here. Your serial number is printed on the back of your device in super tiny print. You can also find it by going into the Settings menu and then selecting General followed by About. If your phone is one of the chosen ones, you can get it repaired by making an appointment at your local Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also mail the device into an Apple Repair Center.
